It's a USB Genius. The best keyboard I have ever owned. I have 8 USB ports on my comp. and keyboard will not work on any of them .Even ones that I know are working. Then suddenly it has burst into life again and works perfectly. I have checked the keyboard cable as far as I can without major surgery and everything looks OK. When I plug K/B into no.2 comp. it works straight off. This comp has only 2 usb ports. Perhaps k/b needs time to find it's way around. In device Manager/ human Interface devices I have 2 Hid compliant device 2 usb human Interface device 1 Logitech IFeel mouse. All report they are working properly but not a clue as to what they do. (apart from mouse) Under USB Controllers I have 3 USB Root hub 2 Standard open HCD USB host controller 1 USB Composite device 1 Standard Enhanced PCI to USB host controller 1 Belkin USB network interface. (MY ADSL Modem) The first 7 say they are working but no explanation what they do. Does all this look as it should be? Jack	JJJJJ (528)

This may have something to do with power management (under the USB root hub entries in device manager) . Its to save power . This is usually enabled by default . Turning this option OFF might fix it .	Speedy Gonzales (78)
319786	2005-01-31 19:05:00	I notice under Root Hubs/Power That I have a mouse. adsl modem. Scanner. Power adapter. (for cordless joystick). But there is no mention of Keyboard. Hitting refresh doesn't help. Jack	JJJJJ (528)
319787	2005-01-31 19:13:00	Keyboards, even tho theyre USB will appear under keyboards, NOT a USB entry in device manager.	Speedy Gonzales (78)
319788	2005-01-31 19:21:00	My mouse appears under pointind devices and again under root hub??? Jack	JJJJJ (528)
319789	2005-01-31 19:27:00	Well, thats the way XP sees it. Cant do too much about it. If its working thats the main thing. Its when it isnt working, thats when u worry.	Speedy Gonzales (78)
